據管道&天然氣雜志網5月25日報道，切尼爾能源公司與浦項制鐵控股公司(Posco Holdings Inc.)的子公司達成了一項長期液化天然氣(LNG)供應協議，浦項制鐵控股公司是韓國最大的鋼鐵制造商，擁有韓國首個私營液化天然氣終端。

根據該協議，浦項制鐵國際已同意以船上交貨價（FOB）交易，從2026年末開始，每年從切尼爾購買約40萬噸液化天然氣，為期20年。液化天然氣的購買價格與亨利中心價格掛鉤，再加上固定的液化費。

切尼爾總裁兼首席執行官Jack Fusco表示，我們很高興與全球工業綜合體的重要參與者浦項制鐵國際簽訂這項長期液化天然氣合同，我們期待與浦項制鐵國際作為客戶建立成功的長期合作關系。該協議的簽署進一步證明了對長期液化天然氣供應的需求不斷增長，突顯了切尼爾在提供靈活、清潔燃燒能源供應方面的領導地位，以滿足客戶的能源安全需求和環境目標。SPA有望為科珀斯克里斯蒂第三階段項目提供額外的支持，我們預計于今年夏天做出FID。

該交易取決于切尼爾做出積極的最終投資決策，以建設科珀斯克里斯蒂三期項目。科珀斯克里斯蒂三期項目正在開發中，將包括多達7條中型液化生產線，預計總名義產能超過1000萬噸/年。

Cheniere Inks 20-Year LNG Supply Deal with South Korea's Posco

Cheniere Energy Inc. has agreed to a long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply deal with a subsidiary of Posco Holdings Inc., South Korea’s largest steelmaker and owner of South Korea’s first private LNG terminal.

Under the deal, POSCO International has agreed to purchase approximately 0.4 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG from Cheniere on a free-on-board basis for a term of 20 years beginning in late 2026. The purchase price for LNG under the SPA is indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee.

“We are pleased to enter into this long-term LNG contract with POSCO International, a key player in the global industrial complex, and we look forward to a successful, long-term relationship with POSCO International as a customer,” Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s president and CEO, said. “The signing of this SPA further evidences the growing demand for long-term LNG supply and highlights Cheniere’s leadership in providing flexible, cleaner burning energy supply to meet both the energy security needs and environmental goals of our customers. The SPA is expected to provide additional support to the Corpus Christi Stage III Project, on which we expect to reach FID this summer.”

The SPA is subject to Cheniere making a positive final investment decision to construct the Corpus Christi Stage III Project. The Corpus Christi Stage III Project is being developed to include up to seven midscale liquefaction trains with a total expected nominal production capacity of over 10 MTPA.
